Here on this page you will find instruments from my collection that are duplicates of ones's I already have, or ones's that are no longer being played. All of the following instruments have been lovingly cared for and maintained - they just need to find new owners that will love and play them.
The condition of each instrument will range from excellent (nearly new) to fair (some cosmetic defects or noticable repairs, but generally servicable). I will try and describe each instrument as completely as possible. Please note: All instruments on this page are complete and set-up to play. Woodwind reed instruments, in most cases, can be supplied with extra reeds for an additional cost. (See: Instruments, Accessories & Services by Alan). All prices given are in U.S. dollars and do not include shipping or insurance. (See: Terms of Payment at bottom of page.)
